Docket No. INS-14-210

LICENSE SUSPENSION NOTICE, ORDER,

and OPPORTUNITY FOR

HEARING

NOTICE TO ALICIA MARIE GOODMAN:

Effective as of June 16, 2014, your Maine nonresident insurance producer license will be SUSPENDED without further formal proceedings unless you request a hearing as specified below.

The reasons for license suspension are as follows:

1. The State of Vermont suspended your resident producer license by Summary Order effective March 7, 2014, for the violation of a September 27, 2013, Cease and Desist Order from the State of Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, Securities Division.

2. The Cease and Desist Order was issued following an investigation by the Securities Division in which it found that you had engaged in unregistered activity as an investment advisor by advising a client to liquidate securities in order to purchase an annuity.

3. The suspension of your Vermont license constitutes a ground for suspension of your Maine license unde 24 M.R.S. § 1220-K(l)(I), for having "an insurance producer license, or its equivalent, denied, suspended or revoked in any other state, province, district or territory."

4. Title 24 M.R.S. § 1420-G(l)(A) provides that one of the qualifications for obtaining a nonresident producer license in Maine is for a person to be "currently licensed as a resident and in good standing in that person's home state." Therefore, you also do not meet the minimum qualifications for nonresident licensing in Maine while your home state license in Vermont is suspended.

5. The underlying facts that led to the Cease and Desist Order constitutes a separate ground for suspension pursuant to 24 M.R.S. § 1220-K(1)(H), which provides that a Maine license may be suspended for "fraudulent, coercive or dishonest practices, or demonstrating incompetence, untrustworthiness or financial irresponsibility in the conduct of business in this State or elsewhere."

Therefore, based upon the above grounds, your Maine insurance producer license is suspended as of June 16, 2014, pursuant to 24-A M.R.S. §§ 1417 and 1420-K, subject to your right to request a hearing. Your license rna~ be reinstated after your home state license is reinstated, upon your written request for such reinstatement in Maine and confirmation that you hold a currently active home state resident license.
